Abstract :

 Objective: To study the role of ventilation tubes in tympanoplastic reconstruction of atelectatic middle ear.

Design: Prospective study

Setting: A tertiary care hospital.

Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in the department of ENT at ESIC Medical College and Hospital, Faridabad. 25 patients of atelectatic middle ear were included in the study. A grommet was placed in the residual tympanic memane or within the new temporalis fascia graft. Patients were followed up for 1 year.

Results: Middle ear space could be achieved in 21 cases ( 84%). In 6 cases, Eustachian tube function improved and air could be seen coming through the grommet while in rest of 19 cases, eustachian tube still remained non-functioning. 15 of the 19 cases where ossiculoplasty was done showed heå improvement.

Conclusion: The use of ventilation tubes in cases of atelectetic ears during tympanoplasty  is feasible and helps to reconstruct the middle ear space, thus preventing the collapse of the drum as well as retraction pocket formation.
